Idk what to do, is my sub a dud?

[Incrimįnator]

I just got a incriminator audio lethal injection 12 d-2. I swapped out my sa-12 for it since I have a new amp, and what happened was: 1. I hooked up a voltmeter to one side of the leads to see (as I moved the cone up and down with my hands) if I was getting a good connection, but at one spot the voltmeter detects no voltage (break in the loop from positive to negative leads). I’m not sure what to do as I’ve checked everything else ( rcas are sending signal etc.)

so are you saying u can see a broken wire?, if not change batt in meter or try another one or wire it outside of box (super low power/volume) see if it moves

I tried it already with two different meters, same problem (I think that the lead wire connecting to the voice coil is bad, or I might have a dead spot on my coil, thoughts on my opinion?

Try it outside the box wire each coil individually see if it has the bad spot playing music

They build great subs

You do mean impedance... correct?

 

[Incrimįnator]

No I tested both sets of leads to get the impedance and it was correct (2.0 on each)

I then measured to see if there was a good connection for each set of leads as I moved the cone up and down, but one coil side seemed to have a dead spot where the connection would break and I was reading no voltage

Ok will try, I’ll let you know how it works
